Judy Carne (born 27 April 1939) is an English actress best remembered for the phrase "Sock it to me!" on Rowan & Martin`s Laugh-In. Born Joyce Botterill in Northampton, Northamptonshire, England, Carne`s early British television appearances included Danger Man (1961). She moved to the United States in the early 1960s. Her first regular role was in the sitcom Fair Exchange, in which she played an English teenager who goes to the US to live with an American family whose daughter (played by Lynn Loring) has gone to live in England. That was followed by The Baileys of Balboa (1964) and then she had an assisting role to Pete Duel in Love on a Rooftop (1966). She had a small part in the ninth episode of the 1965 TV series Gidget, and even appeared in one episode of "Bewitched". On Rowan & Martin`s Laugh-In (1968–1973) Carne rose to stardom. Her most popular routine ended with her saying "Sock it to me!", at which point she was doused with water or in some other way assaulted. Carne was on the series for the first two seasons (1968–1969) but made occasional appearances during the 1969–70 season. Carne was married to actor Burt Reynolds from 1963 to 1965, and producer Robert Bergman from 1970 to 1971. Carne developed drug dependency starting with marijuana and eventually became a heroin addict. She had a near-fatal automobile accident in 1978 which broke her neck, leaving her in traction for about three months. On 22 October the same year, she was arrested at London`s Gatwick Airport. Her 1985 autobiography, Laughing on the Outside, Crying on the Inside: The Bittersweet Saga of the Sock-It-To-Me Girl, chronicled her difficulties with drugs, her failed marriage to Reynolds, and her bisexuality. Since the book was written she has been married two more times. She was also in attendance for the televised 25th anniversary of Laugh-In and a televised Laugh-In Christmas show both in 1993, where she revealed she lives in her hometown of Northampton, England. She still resides there today.
